OTF’s Information Controls Fellowship Program (ICFP) is accepting applications through February 24, 2019. The research focused fellowship program is flexible in nature and can support individuals for three, six, nine, or twelve months. The monthly stipend is $4,200.

For the duration of the program, fellows embed with a host organization of their choosing. Host organizations can be any type of entity located anywhere in the world that is capable of providing fellows with expert oversight and guidance with respect to their chosen area of focus. Research is typically cross-disciplinary in nature with previous fellows having expertise in fields such as computer science, engineering, information security research, software development, social sciences, and law, among others.

Please alert anyone in your network who may interested in this opportunity. If you work with an organization interested in hosting a fellow, you can learn more by emailing icfphost@opentech.fund.

If you have questions not answered on the application page, please post them in this public spreadsheet or email Adam Lynn directly ( adam@opentech.fund) if your question is not appropriate for a public forum.

Great opportunity to cover and fund your time working on research, outputs, and creative collaboration on topics related to repressive internet censorship and surveillance.
